Chapter 958 I Can't Forgive Myself
The three groups played three times, for a total of three games. The elimination rate was very high. Players from all countries were trying their best to move forward. Who doesn't want to gain a certain amount of popularity in the game in Teikyo?
Everyone looked down on each other and just rushed around recklessly. However, this preliminary round was different from the previous ones. I don’t know whose opinions the organizers listened to. The preliminary round was a cooperative competition in which two people took turns to form a group. A theme was set, and two designers who did not know each other at all and had never cooperated before negotiated to complete the design drawings of the theme.
The first group came on stage, all of them were full of energy, but they were all shocked after hearing the rules.
In recent years, the national competition has listened to the opinions of many netizens and has been making changes every year, but this year's changes are the most outrageous.
The first group of contestants who came on stage were all angry.
"Designers are tested on their personal abilities, so what's the point of a collaborative competition? The preliminary round is a collaborative competition, and then the re-round and the final. The final is another collaborative competition, so doesn't that mean that the first place winner must have two designers go on stage together to receive the award?"
The contestant looked confused and started questioning directly on the stage.
The organizers of Teikyo knew how to grab attention and created controversy right at the beginning of the competition.
One contestant began to question, and the other contestants also began to question.
The scene suddenly became a little chaotic, everyone's emotions were unstable, and everyone showed impatient expressions.
A special person came to the field to do ideological work for the contestants. Since they were here, they had to abide by the rules. This was a national competition and all the contestants who came only needed to coordinate according to the rules of the competition.
The theme has emerged, and it is simple and easy to understand.
The theme this time is: "Childhood!"
The audience soon started laughing: "Childhood, do you want to make children's clothes?"
“Children play games together in childhood. The theme is childhood, and everyone needs to work together to complete it. No matter how strong a designer’s personal ability is, he can only go far by relying on teamwork!”
Lin Dong was in the audience, and Gu Sui accompanied her this time.
Lin Dong: "This competition is good for Ming Xin. She is best at teamwork."
Gu Sui glanced at Lin Dong and said, "Director Lin, your health is not good to begin with, why do you have to watch this competition?"
Lin Dong: "Although I work for a fashion magazine now, I haven't forgotten that I started out as a designer. I see myself in Ming Xin..."
Gu Sui could understand Lin Dong's feelings for Xu Yi. She privately introduced many businesses to Moy Magazine and Xisu's partners, and Lin Dong tried his best to promote Xu Yi to them.
He also told others that Xu Yi is the designer he admires most.
But Gu Sui felt that it was probably due to Master Qi Yu. In addition, Lin Dong had never been married and had no children, so he developed a very special feeling for Xu Yi.
Gu Sui: "It seems that Miss Ming Xin is not among the first group of contestants."
"Take your time and watch."
Lin Dong looked at the stage calmly. Gu Sui looked around the audience and said, "Director Lin, it seems that President Song is here too."
Song Yanming came and glanced at Lindong, but there was no further eye contact.
Lin Dong put on her glasses and found many familiar faces. She also had some connections in Dijing, but compared to Jiangcheng, not many.
Every city has its own circles. She cannot say that she is fully connected and has a complete control over the circles in Dijing.
Gu Sui pointed to a woman with blonde hair tied in a ponytail to the south, and his pupils suddenly dizzied.
"Director Lin..."
Lin Dong: "Well, watch the competition carefully. It seems that everyone has accepted this rule. This is the right thing to do. As a contestant, you should do whatever the organizer says. The theme of childhood should be completed by everyone's collaboration. It is not good for a designer to be too independent and too strong. You must learn to communicate and collaborate with others. The longer you do design, the more arrogant you become. This is not good..."
Gu Sui took a deep breath and said, "Director Lin, someone from the Huo family seems to be coming..."
When Lin Dong heard this, he froze for a moment: "Where is it, who's here?"
She broke out in a cold sweat and almost thought that Huo Yunhua was released from prison. If Huo Yunhua could escape from prison, she would definitely not be able to escape!
Gu Sui: “Over there…”
Lin Dong looked over and saw that it was not Huo Yunhua, but Huo Tingyu.
She looks a bit like Qi Yu, and because she is mixed-race, her facial features are more three-dimensional.
At this moment, Huo Tingyu was sitting upright, watching the game.
Huo Tingyu also has some talents. Although her talents cannot be compared with Xu Yi for the time being, if she continues to develop in the circle, her future will be bright.
But... now she is forced to take over the family business, and she is afraid that she will never have the chance to design in this life.
Lin Dong sighed: "What a pity for such a good seedling."
Gu Sui: "Director Lin, the heir of the Huo family has a much better future than a designer."
"Haha...If people can't do what they like, it will be a pity in the end."
"What about you, Director Lin, do you have any regrets?"
Lin Dong didn't say anything, but she thought to herself that her regret was that she shouldn't have taken advantage of her status as Qi Yu's good friend to tell Huo Yunhua about her and Zhou Yuancheng, giving Huo Yunhua the opportunity to take advantage of her.
Although the results did not show that she was the cause, she could never forgive herself.
-
The contestants on the field shamelessly worked in pairs to design together, and the competition suddenly became lively.
When working in pairs, conflicts are inevitable. Each of them dislikes the other's ideas and is reluctant to put pen to paper.
Everyone thinks their design is unique and refuses to accept other people's opinions.
While explaining the game, the commentator said to the live camera: "It's like a childhood quarrel. It seems that the players are trying to find their childhood again. The cooperation after the quarrel in childhood is exciting."
He didn't care at all that the players on the field were about to fight.
When Xu Yi saw this scene backstage, he was also worried, wondering who would be the person he would be working with, and he was afraid that they would have a quarrel like this.
No one wants to lose, but this primary election is not a time to test individual abilities, but a time for overall coordination and cooperation. Only those who cooperate well can advance.
The backstage was cold and indifferent at the beginning, but now it changed drastically. After the first group came on stage, they announced the coordination and cooperation, and the people backstage began to get to know each other.
Everyone began to lower their status and chat with others, for fear that they would have disputes with their opponents after going on stage due to unfamiliarity and thus delay the competition.
"Hello, do you have any thoughts on this topic?"
At this time, the backstage staff came out and said, "We can't discuss the competition here!"
A contestant from Teikyo said, "We don't know who we will work with after we go on stage. The partners are randomly assigned. Can we just talk about it?"
"no!"
The staff's faces were livid. Xu Yi leaned back in his chair and looked at the red-faced people on the stage who were arguing.
It is easy to draw your own work, but if you try to incorporate other people's design concepts into your own work, the entire design will be completely unrecognizable.
For some people with design obsession, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
